Putting Undue Pressure on Myself
I cannot stop the killings in Syria
I cannot save the Irish economy
I cannot save the starving children in South Sudan
I cannot solve the BCTF contract dispute
I cannot fill Jack Layton’s shoes
I cannot turn back global warming
I cannot free the political prisoners in China
I cannot fill the European banks with gold
I cannot give every unemployed Canadian a job
I cannot fix the American health care system
I cannot live your life for you
I cannot find you a job
I cannot please everybody
I cannot live forever
I can point out injustice
I can seek the truth
I can name names
I can forgive
